“Fiscal Year 2026 Safe Streets and Roads for All Funding - Implementation” Grant Application to the U.S. 
Department of Transportation – Summary Recap 
 
Project Description:   
The Buckeye Program Management Office seeks to protect Buckeye’s roadway users by implementing the 
Transportation Safety Plan’s suggested infrastructure improvements, public safety infrastructure 
improvements, and a comprehensive education campaign to promote safe driving habits. The grant proposes 
to reconstruct high-injury locations that are on the high-risk network on Yuma Road and at the Watson Road 
and West Sundance Avenue intersection. The application also seeks to launch a citywide safety education 
campaign targeted at changing drivers’ behaviors. Lastly, the grant seeks to modernize public safety 
infrastructure to improve post-crash care through efficiency upgrades in detection, response, and clearance. 
 
The grant would fund this effort over 60 months. If awarded, these projects will be included in the Capital 
Improvement Program Budget. If awarded, the Award Agreement will be presented to Council for budget 
authority, as well as the authority to accept and execute the grant award.

case the Grants team will pursue.  
Objectives and Expected Outcomes:
